<br>
The following picture shows a calcaneus of Gazella gnawed and partially
digested (from a PPNB site of Syria: Jerf el Ahmar). <br>
Indeed, similar features can be observed on the phalange pictured by
René. <br>

<pre wrap="">Andrea Smith's account of perforated phalanges from Pool and other sites in Orkney also supports the theory that they are probably gnawed.

Hi René, dear all,
This paper deals with perforated phalanges:
Uerpmann, Hans-Peter (1969): Untersuchungen zu den Kleinfunden aus
S'Illot (Mallorca). - Madrider Mitteilungen 10, 139-140, TafelBest,
But looking at the shown specimen I have to admit that the irregular
perforation appears to me like a carnivore puncture. Especially as
the edges of the bone show a texture that looks like digestive acid
corrosion.
Best
Christian

Dear Alice,
such perforated cattle phalanges (attachement) are relatively
common in czech middle Eneolithic. Please, can you advice me
literature or give idea what can be the function of them?
(weight?, playing tool?)
